Not many would go after Arnold Schwarzenegger, expect this one person in South Africa.
While at Arnold Classic Africa, the former bodybuilder was drop-kicked by a man while he was taking pictures with some fans.
Schwarzenegger, 71, was there to judge a skipping competition when a man ran across the gymnasium and kicked the former California governor.
His bodyguards quickly detained the man who sounded like he was then yelling, “help me, I need a Lamborghini.”
I’m not an etiquette expert, but pretty sure if you want to ask Arnold Schwarzenegger for a Lamborghini, flying kicking him in the back is not a good start. pic.twitter.com/1vqV7yLSoy

“The Terminator” left a few minutes later surrounded by security, although seemed unharmed by the incident.
Later that day he posted a picture on Twitter of him meeting more fans for his Arnold Sports Africa festival.

Schwarzenegger then told his fans there is “nothing to worry about”. He added he didn’t even know he was kicked until he saw the video and thought he was just being “jostled by the crowd.”
Thanks for your concerns, but there is nothing to worry about. I thought I was just jostled by the crowd, which happens a lot. I only realized I was kicked when I saw the video like all of you. I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat.
